Dark Skies (April, 11)

I wasn't at all on the mood for something too serious. A cold has be rounding me, I'm too sleepy, lazy.. so I resorted to the list of Sci-fi movies on Netflix and end of story.

Or I thought it was, because I have seen almost all of the films listed there... The first one I hadn't saw it was the chosen one (hehe). That was Dark Skies (not a good title, I reckon), a mix of Sci-fi/Horror that looked like fun.

It was, for sure. Nothing big, from another world, but I wasn't expecting that. I like Keri Russel since her Felicity times, and I find interesting seeing her in a flick. The suspense is good enough, with scary scenes in a level that I had to let the light on. I usually have the policy of not watching Horror alone, but this looked not too much, it was early in the night and I had the company of a peperoni pizza. Everything should be alright.

Again, it was. However, when the film was moving on its second half, I realized I had seen it from that point on, probably while surfing the TV channels. Knowing what would happened made more scared, and not the opposite. It ended up that I didn't remember the whole ending, and what hasn't made sense before was all clear now.

I enjoy and I'm too scared from my own good of endings like that. We always hope for a solution, and without spoiling much, you won't find it here - just a hint of hope. That kind of not patronizing conclusion is interesting and, at the same time, scares me to hell. Despite not being an wow movie, Dark Skies fulfilled its role on my day in a good way. A good plot, well constructed, without loose ends.

Now it's just a matter of suppressing some of its scary scenes and try to sleep. Maybe.

About Me

Hello! My name is Adriana. I see the world and I relate to it mostly through the stories in movies, books, music ... The world of narratives is my favorite. I see, read, hear them ... I love stories, and I also imagine my own from those I meet every day. The love for fictional narratives was why I decided to study them in my post graduate studies. But just that is not enough. So I decided, with the character Amélie Poulain, to travel the world of stories in this blog. Here, I seek a new adventure: watch one movie a day for one year. Experiencing the world through cinema was a way to be aware of it as a child by movies and their stories. However, noticing a big gap in my filmography - and of course in my life -, this blog is a way to change that. And it was, at first, also a project to fulfill my empty days. Now those days are incredibly busy, but this dare is still on! I hope you enjoy this year at the movies with me and Amelie.
